West Union man rams car into garage with his truck

William Eugene Johnston, 56, of West Union has been charged with violating an order of protection after he drove his truck into a parked car, which in turn crashed through a garage.

No one was seriously injured, but Johnston was transported to a hospital for evaluation, according to an Oconee County Sheriff's Office statement.

Johnston has been charged and remained in custody at the Oconee County Detention Center on Friday afternoon after being denied bond, officials at the center said.

Around 8 a.m. Friday, sheriff's deputies and fire/rescue personnel were called to 407 Berry Lane in West Union about a report of a vehicle being driven into a home.

Johnston's wife was home at the time of the incident and had previously secured the protection order because of an ongoing situation at the home. Johnston was out on bond for a previous protection order violation when the events happened Friday.
